+This example performs some simple OpenCL operations on camera or video input
+which is assumed to be provided in RGB format. The OpenCL operation is done on
+an OpenGL texture using CL-GL interop, without any further readbacks or copies
(except for the initial texture upload, when necessary).
-Currently only OS X and Windows with desktop OpenGL (opengl32.dll) are supported.
-On Windows you may need to edit testplugin.pro to specify the location of the OpenCL
-headers and libraries.
+Currently OS X, Windows with real OpenGL (opengl32.dll) and Linux (GLX only) are
+supported. Note that an OpenCL implementation with GPU support is required. The
+platform and device selection logic supports NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Porting to
+other platforms is probably simple, see clCreateContextFromType.

+YUV formats are not supported in this example. This is probably not an issue an
+OS X and Windows, but will most likely disable the example on Linux.
Pass the name of a video file to perform video playback or launch without
arguments to use the camera.
